"Edward Evans’ paintings are so skillfully created that they make the viewer wonder what is real and what is illusion. Enter the gallery and move towards an Edward Evans painting at the opposite end of the room. Your brain immediately tells you that you’re looking at a photograph of a wrinkled manuscript or a piece of parchment. As you move closer you begin to think what you are looking at is definitely three-dimensional. Finally, as you square yourself in front of this enigmatic piece of art you realize the piece is flat and is a painting on linen. It is a painting that has been created using acrylics and an airbrush, a tool that few fine artists use. This is the compelling, illusionary and sometimes maddening, world of Edward Evans."
Howard Spencer, Curator. Washington Pavilion of Arts and Sciences, Sioux Falls, SD
